Hi, AdAware found Ebates Money maker but can't stop it from returning even after deleting it numerous times. I've posted the results from an adawre scan and the Hijack this log i created immediately after the scan. Can you help me get rid of it permanently.

In order to assist you, we need to see the log from an Ad-Aware SE 1.05 full system scan.

Important Note! Before performing a scan, be sure that you have the most recent definitions file by using WebUpdate. (Click on the Globe icon, Click connect, Click OK, Click Finish.) At this current point * SE1R42 28.04.2005 * is the most recent definition file.

Ad-Aware SE comes preconfigured with default options so we need you to make only one change. Please deselect "Search for negligible risk entries" as negligible risk entries (MRU's) are not considered to be a threat. This option can be changed when choosing your scan type.

Select "Perform Full System Scan" and press "Next". When the scan has completed, click "Show Logfile".

Please copy/paste the complete log file here using the reply button. Don't quarantine or remove anything at this time, just post a complete logfile. This sometimes takes 2-3 posts to get it all posted. You will know you are at the end when you see the "Summary of this scan" information has been posted.

When you have posted your log here, Team Lavasoft can advise on what to do next.

Extended Ad-Aware SE Settings
===========================
Set : Unload recognized processes & modules during scan
Set : Obtain command line of scanned processes
Set : Run scan as background process (Low CPU usage)
Set : Scan registry for all users instead of current user only
Set : Always try to unload modules before deletion
Set : During removal, unload Explorer and IE if necessary
Set : Let Windows remove files in use at next reboot
Set : Delete quarantined objects after restoring
Set : Write-protect system files after repair (Hosts file, etc.)
Set : Include basic Ad-Aware settings in log file
Set : Include additional Ad-Aware settings in log file
Set : Include reference summary in log file
Set : Include alternate data stream details in log file
Set : Play sound at scan completion if scan locates critical objects

Note; the path above is of the default installation location for Ad-aware SE, if this is different, adjust it to the location that you have installed it to.

When the scan has completed, select next. In the Scanning Results window, select the "Scan Summary"- tab. Check the box next to each "target family" you wish to remove. Click next, Click Ok.

If problems are caused by deleting a family, just leave it.

Reboot your computer after removal, run a new "full system scan" and post the results as a reply. Don't open any programs or connect to the internet at this time.

Then copy & paste the complete log file here. Don't quarantine or remove anything at this time, just post a complete logfile. This can sometimes takes 2-3 posts to get it all posted, once the "Summary of this scan" information is shown, you have posted all of your logfile.

Also, keep in mind that when you are posting another logfile keep "Search for negligible risk entries" deselected as negligible risk entries (Mru's) aren't considered as a threat. This option can be changed when choosing your scan type.

Hi Rawe,

Took a while to dowmload the scans and do them. The active scan log file is posted below, the trend micro found virus's and spyware but when i tried to clean them nothing happened even though i submitted details for a "key". McAffee found one file but needed to buy the deletion protocols. Let me know what you think of the posy below.
